Let carrots be represented by A and crackers be represented by B


Quantity equation:
Total quantity = amount of carrots + amount of crackers
2.3 = A + B
A = 2.3 - B


Cost equation:
Total cost = amount of carrots x cost of carrots + amount of crackers x cost of crackers
6.03 = 2.1A + 2.9B

Substituting the value of A:
6.03 = 2.1(2.3 - B) + 2.9B
B = 1.5 lb

A = 2.3 - 1.5
A = 0.8 lb

Glen bought 0.8 pounds of carrots and 1.5 pounds of crackers.

The answer is
carrots - 0.8 pounds
crackers - 1.5 pounds


x - the weight of carrots
y - the weight of crackers
<span>The total weight was 2.3 pounds: x + y = 2.3
</span>
Carrots sell for $2.10 per pound: 2.10x
<span>Crackers sell for $2.90 per pound: 2.90y
</span><span>The total cost was $6.03: 2.10x + 2.90y = 6.03

</span>x + y = 2.3
2.10x + 2.90y = 6.03
_________
x = 2.3 - y
2.10x + 2.90y = 6.03
_________
2.10(2.3 - y) + 2.90y = 6.03
4.83 - 2.10y + 2.90y = 6.03
4.83 + 0.80y = 6.03
0.80y = 6.03 - 4.83
0.80y = 1.20
y = 1.20y : 0.80
y = 1.5 pounds

x = 2.3 - y = 2.3 - 1.5
x = 0.8 pounds

9,13,43,55 what is the mean absolute deviate (MAD) of their ages
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The mean absolute deviation of this data \{9,13,43,55\} is MAD =19.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a dataset is the average distance between each data point and the mean. It gives us an idea about the variability in a dataset.

The steps to find the MAD include:

  1. find the mean (average)
  2. find the difference between each data value and the mean
  3. take the absolute value of each difference
  4. find the mean (average) of these differences

To find the mean absolute deviation of this data \{9,13,43,55\} you must

Step 1: Calculate the mean.

\:mean=\bar{x}= \frac{9+13+43+55}{4} =\frac{120}{4}=30

Step 2: Calculate the distance between each data point and the mean and take the absolute value of each difference .

|9-30|=21\\|13-30|=17\\|43-30|=13\\|55-30|=25

Step 3: Add the distances together.

21+17+13+25=76

Step 4: Divide the sum by the number of data points.

MAD = \frac{76}{4} =19

Elise picks 6 pounds of apples.She uses 1/2 pounds to make 1 container of apple sauce. How many containers of applesauce can Eli
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

  Mass of apples = number of containers × mass in each container

                     6 lb = No of containers × ½ lb

No of containers = 6/½  

To divide a whole number by a fraction, invert the fraction and change divide to multiply.

6/½ = 6 × 2/1

Multiply the numerator by the whole number.

6 × 2/1 = 12/1

Simplify the fraction.

12/1 = 12

Elise can make 12 containers of applesauce.
